num:E.—Paris has passed a week of uneasiness and alarm. The 150,000 workmen employed in the national workshops find the strength arising from organization; and are in almost open collision with the Go- vernment. For some time the work they have been content to do has grown less and less; and at last the Government has been driven to con- sider means for reorganizing the body, and disbanding large numbers of them who are not natives of Paris. The workmen meet daily, and are the cause of harassing duties to the National Guards; who have had to turn out to the rappel at some hour of every day in the week. The Guards are ex- asperated, and collisions have become imminent. Meanwhile, the Government courses are devious and inexplicable. M. Emile Thomas, the Director-General of the Workmen, their friend and leader, was suddenly sent away, last week, ostensibly on a mission to Bor- deaux; but it appears that he left Paris under some sort of arrest, and under the imputation of being implicated both in the affair of the 15th May and in official peculation. M. Thomas is a very young man, elevated to note by the revolution of February. The matter produced " interpella- Mons" of the Ministers in the National Assembly: but the explanations given were inexplicit and contradictory; and the matter remains a mys- tery. This event excited the anger and apprehensions of the workmen, and occasioned much of the danger of their attitude through the week.

On the other hand, Blanqui has at last been seized, and Flotte: both are now in custody. Blanqui's behaviour was a melodramatic alternation of defiance and prostrate submission. The Minister of War, M. Cavaignac, proceeds with energy and caution in the exercise and extension of his powers. An immense body of regular troops is now in Paris; and there seems no chance that any outbreak would gain serious head.

In the Assembly, no very interesting discussions have taken place. Part of our last week's impression announced the decision on the proposed de- cree of exile against Louis Philippe and his family. The votes for perpe- tual banishment were 695 to 63; and it was ordered that the names of the voters be printed in the Ifoniteur. The Journal des Debuts, criticizing this list, observes bitterly, that some who had been Ministers of the late Xing were voters for the decree. M. Davergier de Hauranne voted for it; M. Odilon Barrot did not vote at all.

On Wednesday, the Assembly received a requisition by the Attorney- General to allow the prosecution of M. Louis Blanc, one of its members, for his share in the transactions of the 15th May. A warm discussion arose. M. Blanc defended himself with warmth, and with more effect than hitherto. He protested that he had warned the originators of the move- ment of its madness, and urged that it would be turned against liberty; for the reactiouists would surely use it to forward their purposes. He did not excuse himself to avoid either imprisonment or death. " I do not fear either," he said with animation; " I do not fear death: and in thus speaking I know what I say, for I undertake to say that before long the punishment of death will be restored." After interruptions and a scene of excitement caused by this flight, several members gave testimony in favour of M. Louis Blanc's behaviour when the mob broke into the Assembly; and the President confirmed M. Blanc in points that he had asserted. The Assem- bly at last avoided decision of the question, by referring it to the Bureaux to appoint a Committee on the subject. A Committee was appointed, which is understood to be favourable to impeachment.

M. Thiers has accepted the proffered candidateship of the departments of the Seine, the Lower Seine, the mouths of the Rhone, and Algeria.

SPAIN.—Intelligence from Madrid, to the 26th instant, makes known a farther quarrel between the Spanish and British residents. Colonel Brie- Lowe had been imprisoned, with rude violence; and subsequently, on the 25th, been sent out of the country, under escort, to the frontier. The Colonel has resided in Madrid many years; and is a claimant of monies due from the Government: it is alleged that he is compromised in the late outbreak.

The rising at Seville has been put down: the rebel troops marched into Portugal, and have escaped capture.

ITALY.—The news from Lombardy begins to supply more important in- cidents. Nugent joined Radetsky on the 22d, despite the opposition of Durando and Pepe; and entered Verona with a force stated at numbers varying from 5,000 to 20,000 men. The most circumstantial estimate gives him 12,000 infantry, two cavalry regiments, thirty guns, a bridge equipage, and an immense supply of provisions and ammunition. The

Italian war may now begin. Peschiera has not been reduced, and seems under the veteran Rath to have no intentions to submit. On the other

Band, the Sardinian and Neapolitan navy has raised the blockade of Venice, driven the Austrian squadron into Trieste harbour, and threatens to reduce it there, and recapture the fleet of merchant prizes brought to that port in the past month by the Austrians. There are rumours, too, that Trieste has risen against the Austrian garrison: cannonading and musket- firing in the town had been heard by persons in the fleet. The Neapoli- tan General Pepe, and all his officers, resolved in conclave to disobey the orders received from Naples, to cease warring against Austria: the alter- native of Italian or Neapolitan allegiance was put to the officers by Gene- ral Pepe, and carried by acclamation for Italy.

The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle at Milan writes, on the 26th May- " The 29th of the present month is the day upon which books for the registra- don of the votes on the question of the junction or non junction of Lombardy to Piedmont are to be closed. The people of Lombardy have almost unanimously voted in favour of the fusion of Piedmont and Lombardy. It is only Venice that now resists. It still insists on the establishment of the Republic of St. Mark. • " The fusion of Lombardy and Piedmont will be proclaimed in a very few days. Immediately upon that event taking place, a mixed Lombard and Piedmontese Ministry will be proclaimed, which will take up its residence at Milan. The Constituent Assembly will then be convoked, and the Piedmontese Chambers will be dissolved."

Alf/STR/A.—The Emperor remains at Inspruck, sending paternal letters and manifestoes to his Ministers and people at Vienna. Here is one of the more formal documents-

"warriresTo TO MT PEOPLE.

"The events which took place at Vienna on the 15th Instant forced the painild con- viction upon me that factious rioters, assisted by the Academical Legion and part of the National Guard, misled by foreigners and unmindful of their wonted allegiance, conspired against my liberty with a view of enthralling my provinces. The inhabitants Of these provinces, and indeed, all well-meaning citizens of my capital, must of neces- sity resent so daring an outrage with unlimited exasperation. No alternative was left to me, beyond recurring to measures of violence, except to withdraw for the moment to one of my provinces. These, God be thanked, have all remained true to their Monarch. My choice could not bo doubtful. Of the two, I chose the peaceable and bloodless al- ternative. I hastened to these mountains, whose sous had at all times been faithful to me. I was also led by a hope of receiving speedier intelligence from that army who are now so valiantly lighting for their country.

" I am firmly resolved neither to retract nor curtail my gifts- to the people of March. I shall, on the contrary, be the more ready to listen to the reasonable wishes of my people if they come to my notice in a legal way. I am also prepared to give my special attention to national and provincial interests, provided they be gene- rally approved of and legally discussed by the Diet. net I will not grant anything to the forcible exactions of unauthorized and armed individuals. My departure from Vienna was intended to Impress this upon my painfully excited people; and likewise to remind them of the paternal love with which I am ever ready to receive my sons, even

though they be prodigal ones. FEIDISAND." " Inspruck, May 20."

Vienna, on its part, seems struck with servile penitence at having caused the flight of its Emperor, and sends humble petitions for his return. Bo- hemia also is struck with loyalty, and has sent a deputation to the Em- peror announcing devotion, and a readiness even to surrender sights in de- fence of the Imperial person.

Hungary has elected the Archduke Stephen to royal prerogatives ad in- terim, and has sent Prince Esterhazy with a loyal invitation of the Emperor to Pesth. An extraordinary Diet is convoked for the 2d July; and the calling out of 100,000 National Guards has been decreed.

On the other hand, Croatia is in open revolt; and has been put under martial law. Hordes of Croats are said to be advancing into the empire.
